I love the crispy, knobly texture of tempura batter and can never resist a pack of prawns when I see them in the supermarket.
What is the secret and can it be replicated at home ?

Ice cold sparkling water. I've only made it once and it worked fine.

Thanks ummmm, that sounds simple enough, I guess beer batter works in a similar way.
Chipchopper - beer batter is fantastic. I make homemade battered cod on a regular basis (1/2 price in Tesco at the mo) and it's stupidly easy and as good as any rated chippy.

Here's an authentic recipe. Keep *everything* cold.

Yeah, DB, I do wife beater batter :-)
Always done it with cold fizzy water. Don't sift your flour either....lumps are good in tempura. Try some tempura veg too....delish
